Joan Michel-Lehman carries two air horns with her at night.

Leave the Mountain Lions alone.

They build on their(Mountain Lions)land and expect to be safe from the wrath of Mountain Lions. If you don't want to deal with nature then don't build on their land. If that old lady is that scared then she should move the hell away, because eventually we the people will defend the rights of the Mountain Lion.

Betty Kasnoff brings her beloved tabby Tiger Lilly in by 9 p.m. and locks the doors.

Eunice Brill is worried about the effect on property values.

The source of their consternation: mountain lions.

There have been half a dozen recent sightings of the fearsome, 120-pound beasts prowling the secluded streets of Rossmoor, a retirement community in the bucolic, rolling hills of Walnut Creek.

"I am scared out of my mind," Michel-Lehman said. "Half the people here can't see, the other half can't hear, the rest can't think -- they need to get rid of these things now before something terrible happens."

Wildlife experts say the big cats pose little danger to people and are just exhibiting normal mountain lion behavior -- hunting deer and keeping to themselves. But an article in the Rossmoor News, warning signs from the Department of Public Safety, and the usual chatter around the golf course and beauty salon have left some of Rossmoor's 10,000 seniors with acute cases of lion phobia.
